Tips for Getting Ahead
Saturday:
Print out all the recipes for the week.
Click on the link provided and add all the groceries to your cart.
Look through the meal plan table at the ingredients provided in the cart and the presumed ingredients. If you do not have a pantry item, make sure to add it to your cart.
Add any other groceries to your online cart that you need for the week (bread, milk, etc).
Schedule a time to pick up your groceries or have them delivered.
Read through the recipes and the “Tips for Getting Ahead” to prepare for the week.
Sunday:
Dice 2-3 carrots, 2-3 celery stalks, one white onion, and 2 garlic cloves for Thursday’s Bean Soup dinner.. Place in a marked container later in the week.
Make carrot and celery sticks with the leftover vegetables to be served as a side for Wednesday’s dinner. Place in a container or marked zip lock bag and store in the refrigerator.
Follow the directions on the package and make all the quinoa. Divide it out for Monday and Tuesday dinners and the store in labeled containers in the refrigerator.
Assemble all the ingredients for the crock pot cubed steak dinner listed for Friday.
Monday:
Cook all the chicken breasts tonight according to the directions for Monday’s Chicken Quinoa Bowls. Take the extra chicken not used tonight and dice or shred it. Store in a labeled container for Wednesday’s barbeque chicken quesadillas.
Thursday:
Side note: if you have any leftover chicken feel free to add it to the soup.
Decide if you are going to cook the cube steaks for dinner tomorrow night in the instant pot or crockpot (see instructions in recipe). If you are going to use the crock pot, get your crockpot loaded up tonight and set an alarm to remind yourself to put the crock in the crockpot and start it tomorrow morning.
